Since the GPL is a first of its kind, there is not a lot of information available regarding the league and poker players are interested to know more about the GPL.<\/p>\n<p>What most poker players know about the GPL is the fact that it will run for 14 consecutive weeks and comprise of 12 franchises that will be split into 2 conferences with a total of 6 teams on each side. The breakup of the 2 conferences will be based on location as the format splits locations into EurAsia and the Americas and will kickstart before the 1st quarter of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The GPL recently announced that on the 26th of Feb 2016 it would launch its first GPL Draft Day and be similar to an \u201c<em>NHL-style draft experience<\/em>.\u201d The 12 franchises will send in their representatives as they need to be physically present to bid for their players. The event is expected to take place at the <a href=\"http:\/\/slslasvegas.com\/\">SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills<\/a> and the very next day the GPI will host the 2nd edition of the <strong>American Poker Awards<\/strong>. Both events are expected to be live streamed on the internet. <\/p>\n<p>The first conference will comprise of teams from the Americas and will most likely consist of franchises from <strong>Sao Paolo, Toronto, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco and New York<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>The second conference will comprise of teams from EurAsia and will most likely consist of franchises from <strong>Moscow, Hong Kong, Prague, Paris, Barcelona and London<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>The GPL confirmed that each of these franchises will have around 5 poker players and the franchises will be able to select 3 of their players during the GPL Draft Day and the final 2 players will be selected based on a \u2018<em>wild card<\/em>\u2019 format. The GPL Draft will feature only poker players who are ranked within the top 1,000 list of players on the GPI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Global Poker Index (GPI) has built a reputation for itself as being the one of the top ranking systems in the world for poker players.
